Movie Night Treat

Everyone knows that the best treat to eat while watching a movie is popcorn. But now it's time to get fancy..... Carmel corn. I know, it's mind blowing.

Carmel corn is actually very simple. I got this recipe from The Joy of Cooking which, for anyone who doesn't own it, is the greatest cookbook ever printed.

Here's what you need:
  • 3/4 cup popped popcorn
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons water
Here's how you make it:
  • First, melt the butter in a saucepan.
  • Add in the brown sugar and water, and stir over low heat.
  • Once the sugar has dissolved, turn the heat up to medium, and keep stirring until the caramel comes to a boil. 
  • Keep at a boil for only a few minutes, then drizzle the caramel onto the popcorn, mixing the popcorn so that it all is covered.


 Happy movie night!
